Bran Loaf

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups fruit medley (any combination of chopped dried fruits)
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 cup All Bran
• 1/2 cup soft brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
• whole blanched almonds, to decorate

Here's how
1. Lightly grease a 23cm x 13cm x 7cm loaf tin with melted butter or oil. Line the base with baking paper. Place the fruit medley, raisins, All Bran, sugar and milk in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Leave to soak for at least 15 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to moderate (180C). Add the sifted flour to the mixture and combine well. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface. Decorate with the almonds.
3. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre. Set aside for 5 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool. Serve plain, sliced with butter or toasted.
